The US healthcare system (costing 18% of GDP) is fundamentally broken because it allows doctors and hospitals to agree how to spend someone else's money (federal government via Medicare/Medicaid), creating massive moral hazard; Americans' health is more determined by non-medical factors than medical spending, yet the medical-industrial complex has convinced us spending more is the solution.

“most of what influences your health it's not how much we spend on doctors and hospitals... you you need to let a doctor Hospital uh agree with his patient how to spend someone else's money but namely the federal government ensure his money... that's the system we're addicted to absolutely does not work”
